Okay but, if this guy was available back when....all I see is Tomlin confirming his own stupidity. I mean all he is saying is that he kept the wrong players. I mean we have back-ups already, even for Pouncey. But, after those back-ups play less then 1 game, Tomlin is admitting that they are no good, so he signs this guy ?...A guy who has been out there all this time ?

It was thought that Velasco was going to keep his starting center spot on the Titans this year, not get cut entirely. He had a pretty big number attached to him but the Titans front office said that money wasn't the issue...but draw your own conclusions. He's a good center who had earned the job last year and so a number of people were a little surprised that the organization cut ties. But he's a good center and best available.

To me, this is just further proof of Tomlin's Incompetance.

No. I suspect we would not have signed Velasco if Heath was back. It is not that Beachum cannot do the job but he is needed in other areas. In some ways, Beachum is one of the most important players on the team because he can play anywhere on the line. Beachum is needed at TE to block for the run game and to be available for any other in game injuries.
